Reply to comment by Historical_Tea2022 in If UV radiation is used to disinfect and sterilise things then why isn't everything the sun touches (your skin, the sidewalk etc) sterile? by Critwhoris

We have light 'spf 15' ones but they're mostly face lotions and such that are meant to be worn under makeup or indoors.

For outdoors we have spf 30 or 50 generally. After 50 the protection doesn't increase much so spf100 isn't much better than the 50.

I know our sunscreens have to go through testing and meet regulations but I assume the rest of the world does that too.

We have a long long running TV add campaign called Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide.

Slip on a hat, Slop on sunscreen, Slap on a hat, seek shade, slide on sunglasses.

Edit- Slip on a Shirt

HA. Only two hats.

Amateur.

I too Slip on the first hat, Slap on the 2nd, but the trick is to Scrunch on the third hat to hold down the slippy slappy first two hats.

But then, I only go outside at night, so I keep losing hats in the dark , unless there's moonlight .of course
